Memphis Industries

Field Music is a band hailing from Sunderland, England. Formed in 2004, the core of the group consists of brothers David and Peter Brewis, who have both played drums for fellow Sunderland band The Futureheads. Over the years, Field Music's lineup has seen various changes, with talented musicians such as Andrew Moore on piano, Ian Black on bass, Andrew Lowther on bass, Kev Dosdale on guitar, and Tom English (later of Maxïmo Park) on drums.

The Brewis brothers are not only known for their work with Field Music but also for their involvement in multiple side-projects that have garnered equal acclaim. These include School Of Language, The Week That Was, Frozen By Sight (with Paul Smith of Maxïmo Park), and Slug led by Ian Black.

In February 2016, Field Music released their fifth album proper titled "Commontime." Their music is often associated with artists like Gruff Rhys, The Week That Was, School Of Language Dutch Uncles Steve Mason Super Furry Animals Wild Beasts The Bees White Denim Gorky's Zygotic Mynci John Grant C Duncan Here We Go Magic BC Camplight Teleman The High Llamas Gaz Coombes Django Django and Jane Weaver.

Memphis Industries is a British independent record label based in North London. Established in 1998 by the brothers Ollie Jacob and Matt Jacob, it has become a prominent player in the music industry. With their first release being Blue States' Forever EP, Memphis Industries quickly made a name for itself as a platform for talented artists.

Over the years, Memphis Industries has nurtured and supported numerous *artists* who have gone on to achieve great success. The label prides itself on its diverse roster, spanning various genres including indie rock, electronic, and folk. Their commitment to quality music has earned them an esteemed reputation among both fans and critics alike.

With an impressive catalog of releases under their belt, Memphis Industries continues to discover and promote emerging talent from around the world. Their passion for music shines through in every release they put out, making them a go-to destination for music lovers looking for something fresh and exciting.

Field Music return with their sixth album, Open Here. The two years since Commontime have been strange and turbulent. If you thought the world made some kind of sense, you may have questioned yourself a few times in the past two years. And that questioning, that erosion of faith - in people, in institutions, in shared experience - runs through every song on Field Music's new album.

But there's no gloom here. For Peter and David Brewis, playing together in their small riverside studio has been a joyful exorcism. Open Here is the last in a run of five albums made at the studio, an unprepossessing unit on a light industrial estate in Sunderland. Whilst the brothers weren't quite tracking while the wrecking balls came, the eviction notice received in early 2017 gave the brothers a sense of urgency in the recording of Open Here. There probably won't be many other rock records this year, or any year, which feature quite so much flute and flugelhorn (alongside the saxophones, string quartet and junk box percussion). But somehow or other, it comes together. Over thirteen years and six albums, Field Music have managed to carve a niche where all of these sounds can find a place; a place where pop music can be as voracious as it wants to be.
